<h2>Forming Equations from Word Problems</h2>
To form an equation from a word problem, we can recognize variables and operations from keywords.
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>Let the number of weeks be <em>a</em>.
We're given:
- Goal amount is $200 at minimum
- Money earned is $15a
- Current amount is $32
Because $200 is the minimum account required, we know that the amount earned must be greater than or equal to 200.
Our current savings and money can be calculated by adding 15a and 32:

6)
34, 43, 52, 61, ...
43-34 = 9; 52-43 = 9; 61-52 = 9
The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence
first term: a = 34
difference: d = 9
so the formula:
7)
10, 6, 2, -2, ...
6-10 = -4; 2-6 = -4; -2-2 = -4
The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence
first term: a = 10
difference: d = -4
so the formula:
8)
-3, -10, -17, -24, ...
-10-(-3) = -7; -17-(-10) = -7; -24-(-17) = -7
The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence
first term: a = -3
difference: d = -7
so the formula:
9)
7, 8.5, 10, 11.5, ...
8.5-7 = 1.5; 10-8.5 = 1.5; 11.5-10 = 1.5
The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence
first term: a = 7
difference: d = 1.5
so the formula:
10)
30, 22¹/₂, 15, 7¹/₂, ...
22¹/₂-30 = -7¹/₂; 15-22¹/₂ = -7¹/₂; 7¹/₂-15 = -7¹/₂
The difference between one term and the next is a constant so it is arithmetic sequence
first term: a = 30
difference: d = -7¹/₂
so the formula:
